Mike acted as if he had heard something terrifying and quickly waved his hands at Amelia. "No! Don't!"He was truly terrified.'Can't this woman tell that I don't like her? I've made it pretty obvious. Why is she still following me around? She really knows no shame,' thought Mike.He couldn't help but feel annoyed. But when he thought of what his father would do to him, he had no choice but to sit there with Amelia. Mike seemed to have sensed something and looked around. He looked around and just happened to lock gazes with Laura and Chris.He acted as if he had seen his savior and quickly said, "Chris, you're here as well?"Mike walked over and sat next to Chris with his plate. "Well, Chris, how about we eat together?"He didn't want to face that woman anymore. He had enough of her.Amelia was taken aback as well when she saw Laura. the expression on her face returned to normal the next second. She picked up her cutlery and plate and walked over to Laura and Chris's table a
Amelia tilted her head and looked at Mike with a smile.She somehow got to know which hotel Mike lived in and she checked into the room next to his. Whenever Mike stepped out of his room, he would bump into Amelia.Mike had thought of switching to another hotel, but no matter where he went, Amelia would still be able to find him.In the end, Mike got tired and decided not to switch hotels.On the way back to the hotel, Amelia turned to Mike and asked, "Who were those two, Mike? Were they boyfriend and girlfriend?""What's that got to do with you? Mind your own business!" shouted Mike.After saying that, Mike quickened his pace and walked forward.Amelia immediately felt aggrieved and her eyes turned red. "Wait for me, Mike."She was just about to go after Mike when the phone in her bag began to ring.When Amelia saw the caller ID, her eyes lit up."Nathan!"When Mike heard Amelia's voice, he froze on the spot.The next second, he rushed over to Amelia's side.Amelia looked
The water soaked Laura's dry lips and she felt that her throat was no longer sore.After she took the tablets that Chris fed her, she lay back on the bed, but she still had a fever.This caused Laura to feel a little helpless.It had been a while since she had fallen ill. This caused Laura to not expect herself to fall ill so easily. This fever reminded Laura that she would need to be more careful."Get some rest." Chris tucked Laura in and touched her forehead again to check her fever.Laura nodded, closed her e and went to sleep.Chris reached out and pulled her into his eyes. During the whole night, he had been checking on Laura's condition, so he rarely slept.Laura's condition only improved a little in the following morning.Chris opened his eyes almost the same time as Laura opened hers."How are you feeling?"Laura raised her head and looked at Chris. She could see the faint dark circles around his eyes."I'm feeling much better now. Did I cause you to lose sleep?"C
Harry noticed Laura's reaction and said, "I've already checked all of us in. We can board the plane straight away."Laura had rarely gone out of Empfield. Neither had just been on a plane, so she didn't know what she needed to do before boarding a plane., she didn't overthink things after hearing what Harry had said. when they boarded the plane and took their seat, Laura noticed that the plane just took off.Laura looked around and asked, "How come we're the only ones on this plane?""There probably aren't many people who choose to go to Brosland by plane from Empfield," Chris said calmly.Laura felt that he had a point.It was a special occasion this time, otherwise, Laura wouldn't normally choose to go to Brosland by plane. It would cost too much money."Looks like we boarded just in time. The plane's taking off as soon as we boarded."Laura didn't suspect anything and because she was worried about Sir Wayne, she didn't overthink things.What she didn't notice was that th
Madam Jacobs was already quite frustrated to begin with. Now that Nicole was sobbing in front of her, she became even more frustrated. "Alright, alright. Charlie's going to be fine. There's no need to cry."Madam Jacobs then passed a piece of tissue to Nicole.Nicole took the tissue and said, "Thank you, Grandaunt. It's good that you're here, otherwise, I would have no idea what to do."She sighed and then looked at Chris.She felt that Chris had become even more handsome and she liked Chris even more.Nicole found the person next to Chris very annoying.Nicole deliberately ignored Laura and said to Chris, "Chris, thank you for coming all this way from Empfield. Here, take a seat and get some rest. I've booked a table at a restaurant to welcome you guys to Brosland."Chris was talking to Laura when Nicole went to speak to him. He was asking her if she was feeling alright or not. before he could finish, Nicole interrupted him. This caused Chris to furrow his brows."That's not
Laura looked at the entrance of the emergency room. When she saw the doctor walking out of the emergency room, her eyes lit up."Dr. Shaw, it's really you!"Dr. Shaw was the one who saved Linda when Linda was ill.It was thanks to him and the person who donated the medical fees that Linda's operation was a success and she was able to recover.When Dr. Shaw saw Laura, he was a little taken aback. He only remembered who she was when he saw Chris standing behind Laura.Six months ago, Chris asked him to go to Empfield to operate on an old lady.Chris had also paid for all the medical fees as well. He also told Dr. Shaw not to tell others that it was he who donated the medical fees."I didn't expect to get to see you Dr. Shaw."Dr. Shaw smiled at Laura. "How's your grandmother doing?""She's fine now," replied Laura."That's good to hear."Laura didn't waste any more of Dr. Shaw's time. After a short conversation, she said goodbye to him.When Dr. Shaw walked past Chris, he no
On the morning of the next day, before Chris left, he bought breakfast for Laura and Madam Jacobs. He also reminded Laura to take her medicine and not to get herself tired out.Chris also told Laura to give him a call if she had a fever again."I know, I know. I'm not a child. I know how to take care of myself."Laura buttoned Chris's suit for him and Chris kissed her on the forehead.Seeing this, Harry couldn't help but roll his eyes.Madam Jacobs smiled as well.Nicole was the only one who clenched her fists so hard that her nails dug into the palms of her hands.Laura blushed after Chris kissed her on the forehead. 'What is this guy doing? Can't he see there are others in the room?'"I've got to go. You must call me if something comes up."Laura nodded in response.Looking at Chris's and Harry's receding figures, Nicole put down the cutlery in her hands and went after them."Chris, wait for me. I'll see you out."Madam Jacobs pursed her lips. "Well, Nicole's enthusiastic
Laura just happened to see what Nicole was doing when she came into the room.She widened her eyes in shock. "Stop!"Nicole's hands subconsciously trembled. Her eyes were filled with panic and fear. It was obvious that she didn't expect Laura would appear this late at night.Looking at the instruments, Laura had no time to say anything. She quickly went over and snatched the oxygen mask from Nicole.The guards outside also rushed into the ward when she heard Laura's voice.Nicole was so terrified that she didn't dare to move at all.When Madam Jacobs walked into the room, tears trickled down Nicole's cheeks."Grandaunt, you're here! Grandaunt, I woke up from a nightmare tonight. The nightmare was about Grandpa, so I was worried about him and couldn't fall asleep again. I then rushed to the hospital."Only when Nicole arrived at the hospital did she realize that there were guards outside the ward. the guards obviously recognized her, so they didn't stop her from going into the
The two children attracted Laura's attention and she just watched them play.The two children looked a little alike. The boy was obviously a little older than the girl. They were most likely brother and sister.The little girl noticed Laura's gaze, so she walked up to her. "Are you looking at us?"The little boy noticed his sister standing in front of two strangers. He then rushed over and stood between the girl, and Laura and Chris with an alarming look on his face."Don't worry. We won't hurt you." Laura squatted down so that she was the same height as the two children."I think I know what she wants, Owen," the little girl suddenly said with a serious face."What does she want?" The little boy's face softened when he looked at the little girl."She's looking at us, so she must be wanting to play with us!" the girl said innocently and then looked at Laura. "Am I right?"Laura squatted down and pinched the girl's face with a smile. "Yes, you are! I love children who are cute l
"Harry and I are planning to go to the beach after this, do you want to come with us?" Shannon asked Laura.After giving it some thought, Laura nodded. "Sure!"The three of them waited for about a quarter of an hour after the meal before Chris came to pick them up."Have you finished?" Chris was asking everyone but his eyes were fixed on Laura."Yes, we have. I have to admit, the food here is actually quite nice," said Harry.He seemed to not have had enough as he placed some more food in his mouth."Do you want some more? We're in no rush anyway."Laura was worried that Harry didn't have enough to eat."No, I'm full. Let's head to the beach." The thought of going to the beach and enjoying the night view with Shannon made Harry very excited."What beach?" asked Chris. He was a little puzzled."Shannon just said that they were going to the beach and asked me if I wanted to join them. It felt like a good idea to me so I agreed. Do you want to come as well?" Laura turned to look
Lucas and Dawn waited for a while but their food still wasn't served."What's taking them so long?" mumbled Dawn."They're probably busy. We don't have any other plans tonight, there's no rush."Lucas picked up his phone and began playing a game. At the same time, he poured a glass of water for Dawn. "Here, have some water., it'll ease the hunger"Dawn was rendered speechless.She picked up the glass, took a sip of water, and then began looking around. That was when she noticed a table of a man and two women receiving their food as soon as they sat down.Seeing that, Dawn shouted, "Waitress!"A girl in her early 20s quickly walked over to her. "How may I help?""When will our food be served? We've already been waiting for a long time." Dawn was a little dissatisfied."I'm sorry, Miss. The kitchen is already preparing your dishes and the food will be served very soon," the waitress said apologetically."What do you mean by that? We've already been waiting for ages. Not only th
"Mr. Summers, Mr. Scholfield is waiting for you in the meeting room.""Okay."Nathan tidied his desk, picked up a file and headed towards the meeting room.As soon as he walked in, he saw Lucas sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.Lucas had a lazy temperament and his lips were curved into a mischievous smile. He looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Summers, you're three minutes late."Nathan was used to Lucas's behavior, so he just looked at Lucas indifferently. "Here's the contract. Check to see if you have any problems with it."Lucas sat up, took the contract, and flicked through it casually. "Where's the pen?""Aren't you going to read it more carefully?""I don't think that Mr. Summers is going to trick me, right?" asked Lucas. His voice was casual and his hand was getting ready to hold a pen.Nathan smiled, took out a pen from a drawer, and signed his name on the contract before passing it to Lucas.Lucas held the pen tightly in his hand as he signed his name on the
Nathan waited in the police station with Amelia.About an hour later, two police officers brought a man in black and wearing a baseball cap in front of the two of them.There were wounds on his face as well. It was obvious that he had been beaten up.One of the officers passed a delicate purse to Amelia. "Miss Summers, is this your purse?"Amelia's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's the purse I lost.""This is the person who stole your purse, Miss Summers. What do you want us to do with him?" the other officer pointed at the man and asked.After giving it some thought, Amelia said, "I've just checked my purse and nothing's missing. I'll let him off this time.""Looks like you're in luck. Quick, thank Miss Summers for her kindness.""Thank you so much, Miss Summers!""Alright, just try not to steal things in the future. You can leave now." Amelia waved her hand.After the man in black was released, Amelia and Nathan headed back home as well.Amelia then sent a text to the man in black
"Get someone to find out why Amelia went to the police station today." Nathan gave the order."Yes, Mr. Summers. I'll get right on it." Dominic nodded and went out of the room.After giving it some thought, Nathan still felt that he should head to the police station in person to ask Amelia what she was doing.When Nathan arrived at the police station, Amelia had just finished talking to Jack."Amelia!" Nathan called out.Amelia stopped walking and turned around. She then looked at Nathan with a face full of surprise."Nathan, what are you doing here?" Amelia smiled and walked over to Nathan."I came to check if Jack had said anything else. I've also heard that you came to the police station instead of to work, so I thought I'd come to give you a lift on the way back."Amelia nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll head back home with you once I've found my purse.""What purse?" Nathan felt a little puzzled."I was going out with a few friends, but I lost my purse on my way. There we
"Please take a seat, Miss Summers. We've already sent men to look for your purse. We'll find it soon." One of the officers put on a big smile and tried to please Amelia when he found out that she was the daughter of the Summers family.Amelia just nodded and then went to sit on the chair.A while later Amelia asked the officer that just spoke to her, "I'm a little bored. Can I take a look around?""Sure! I can...""There's no need. I want to take a look around by myself. Notify me when you find my purse."With that said, Amelia left the reception room and began walking around the police station.She didn't get far before she saw Jack."I need to speak to Jack," Amelia said to the guard outside the cell."I'm sorry, Miss Summers. Mr. Summers gave us specific orders to keep an eye on him and not let anyone visit him."The guard stopped Amelia. His attitude was respectful, but wasn't letting her anywhere near Jack."Do you not know who I am?" Amelia became a little angry. She co
After losing her memories, Mrs. Summers couldn't remember anything. She didn't want to dwell on this matter since it was in the past.However, Alex wasn't going to let Nancy off that easily. "She must be punished. Otherwise, who knows what she would do next time!"Nancy had become more and more arrogant. Alex felt that if he didn't teach her a lesson now, she would do something even worse.After hearing Alex's words, Mrs. Summers still didn't want to punish Nancy. "She's our child after all. We shouldn't criticize her too much. Everyone makes mistakes, right? Let her off this once for me."Nancy kept nodding her head after hearing Mrs. Summers' words. "Dad, I'm so sorry. I promise there won't be a next time. Please forgive me just this once."Seeing that Mrs. Summers was asking him to let Nancy off, Alex had no choice but to say, "Since your mom has forgiven you, then I'll let you off this once. But if there's a next time, I'll kick you out of the Summers family myself!"Nancy qu
Seeing the look on Nancy's face, Alex knew that she knew about the glass of water. His face immediately paled.Amelia quickly walked forward. "Dad, Nancy was just a little thoughtless, I think she didn't mean any harm."Her words made Alex even more infuriated. "She was thoughtless? Was that the reason to add sleeping pills to the water?"If it weren't for that glass of water, Alex wouldn't have been in a deep slumber and the things that followed wouldn't have happened.Nancy began shaking in fear. That was because she did add sleeping pills to the glass of water.She was planning on getting Chris to drink the water and then she would get someone to bring Chris to her room when he was asleep.That way, Chris would have to be responsible for her under the pressure of the Summers family.However, what Nancy didn't expect was that Alex drank the water instead of Chris.Amelia wasn't worried that Nancy would sell her out. That was because drugging Chris wasn't something appropriate
